      Elvis Presley's
      "IF I CAN DREAM"
      ruclips.net/video/u-pP_dCenJA/видео.htmlsi=8lxL-UbDFgk7A_ycx
      From his 68 Comeback Special, this was Elvis's Heartfelt and Powerful Tribute to Dr Martin Luther King Jr, after his Assasination in Memphis Tennessee where Elvis Lived. It is Based on the message of MLK's "I Have A Dream" Speech, and was written for him with this in mind. It also honored the Memory of Robert F Kennedy, who was also Assasinated during the same time period. This was a Turbulent Time in America, 🇺🇸 with the Civil Rights Movement, Protests and Riots against Vietnam War and it seemed as if the Country was being torn apart and Elvis wanted to bring a Message of Hope and Unity to the Nation. "If I Can Dream" is at it's heart, a Civil Rights Song.

    When he pulled the note from his belt, it wasn't because he forgot the lyrics, it was a note from a female fan. Watch Love Me Tender from the same concert and you'll see how much the fans loved E, how how much he reciprocated the love.

    He was in the Army. A woman handed her a note. Probably with her name and number. He gives his all on every song and makes you feel it. If you play more songs, get the live videos to see his performances. HINT: Elvis was a jokester, so you can't take your eyes off the screen or you'll definitely miss something. Here's a few videos: "In The Ghetto (Las Vegas 1970) 4K ," "Suspicious Minds (Aloha From Hawaii, Live in Honolulu, 1973) ," and "An American Trilogy (Aloha From Hawaii, Live in Honolulu, 1973)". Short Documentary videos: "Elvis and the Black Community" Parts 1 and 2. Another thing that I admired about Elvis is that he wasn't ashamed or embarrassed to cry, which he does on a few songs. Loved your reactions! LIKED, COMMENTED & SUBSCRIBED.

    Elvis ‘s drummer Ronnie Tutt was amazing. He kept his eyes on Elvis and kept up with his moves. There is a rehearsal footage in wish you can see Elvis moves and Ronnie responding with the drums. It is so spontaneous that his conductor Joe Guercio once said working with Elvis is like chasing marbles down a flight of stairs. Elvis responded to this by filling Joe’s dressing room with marbles.
    Elvis liked playing practical jokes for fun.

    The orginal Vegas Residency, he did two shows a night , and added a matinee on Sundays, so he has fun changing up songs, plus assembled a 13 piece band, with 8 member chior, which at that time was rare! His live shows are second to none, plus he has to navigate the mic chord, 40 years before wireless..😂

    @Mary-d5x6g 8 месяцев назад +15

    he was not reading lyrics that was a note from some woman who stuffed it in his belt, women tried to get to him everywhere he went. but all kidding aside he loved to screw around on stage. He was a serious promoter of civil rights, see his tribute to MLK jr. from his 68 comeback special "If I Can Dream". Also his beautiful song 'In the Ghetto" you know he grew up in the poor black neighborhood in Mississippi. He helped promote black artists in the 50's when white stations would not play black singers till he changed that. Elvis had a 23 year career. Died of heart failure at 42, and sang every thing from gospel to opera. He had a 3 octave range. Another great to hear is his performance in Vegas 1970 "Walk a Mile in My Shoes". Thanks I appreciate you.

      I am so jealous. I didn’t get the opportunity to see him in person. The only time he was near me in Madison Square Garden I had a new born baby so I wasn’t able to attend. My daughter felt bad that I missed out and treated us to Graceland on 2021. Now my 12 year old grandchildren are also fans. We had an awesome time.

But he did like playing football. If you do more Elvis I would recommend the song just pretend. You won't be disappointed

    Your post is true Elvis' history. I did not know about his Grandfather. One of his biggest influences was the Black Baptist Churches he attended while young. You can see the influence in his performances such as If I Could Dream.
    BabantheKidd, I enjoyed your reactions. The moves he does have been part of him since he was a kid. Later, Martial Arts was one of his favorite hobbies. But, it's the music that was in his entire body and soul. He played guitar, piano and drums, but it's the drums that provide the electricity in him. In the video Elvis Presley and the Black Community, his former pastor of the Black Baptist Church where Elvis worshipped and sang, tells about his energy as a kid.
    The live Las Vegas video of 1973 Suspicious Minds shows what it was like to work with him. He loved to joke around, loved singing, his band and singers, his fans and singing Gospel tunes.

    If you haven't reacted to Elvis singing " If I Can Dream" during his TV Special in 1968 you should def do that one. Also do "In the Ghetto" live in concert 1970. Mac Davis wrote the song and asked Sammy Davis Jr to record it, but Sammy told him he felt he couldn't do the song justice because he did not grow up in those conditions, but, he said he knew someone who did, Elvis Presley. Elvis recorded the song.
    I've been an Elvis fan since i was 12 years old and I'm turning 77 in a few weeks. I still listen to him every day.

  • @makingthecoin3647

    Elvis is the King because he dominated overwhelmed in every record and set large arena and Stadium records that stood until finally these venues were torn down to rebuild new ones. He outsold every performer, covered other performers songs and outsold theres. He had 18+ #1 hits to 1 for Chuck Berry. He is the King because like King LeBron and Jordan had also "more rings".

    That little note was a room # given by a babe. He was given it during Sweet Caroline earlier in this show. I experienced Elvis in Vegas when I was 22 at a special 3AM show where babes would give notes (there room #) to "stewards" roaming the floor who would forward the note to Elvis on stage.

He had his own team with uniforms and cheerleaders. You should look up the ESPN Elvis football video. It is really good! Yes, more Elvis, please. Nobody could entertain like this man.

    Hey guys thank you for reacting to Elvis!!! I hope you get the 100 likes so you can delve more into Elvis, His Gospel was amazing... He did it all.. You know the chiccky chiccky bom bom you were singing his backing singers (The Ladies) were called the Sweet Inspirations, when Elvis went to Vegas in I believe 1969 Whitney Houstons mum, Cissy was one of his back up singers in that group. He hand picked his band, he had a full orchestra and Gospel Singers The Stamps Quartet, The Bass singer Elvis used to sneak in to see his shows when he was a kid, and he told JD one day you will sing for me and he lived up to that . There are many stories about Elvis, and memories they all shared and still do. A threatened to walk out of Vegas after some higher upper made a bad comment about those girl singers, they didnt want them there because of the colour of their skin, Elvis said No Way, if they are not here I am not here... He was an amazing man..

    Thanks for your reaction.
    Elvis was born on January 8, 1935 in Tupelo, Mississippi, in a 2 room shack of a house his dad built with money he borrowed from his boss. That's how dirt poor they were. He was one half of identical twins; the other boy - Jesse Garon - was stillborn. They were so poor, that Jesse Garon was buried in a shoebox in an unmarked grave. At Graceland they have a plaque with his name on it in his memory.
    Elvis always got along with the black community and learned a lot about music from his friends of color. Also, according to the one drop rule, Elvis would not be considered white, since he has Cherokee ancestors on both the Smith (his mother) and the Presley (his father) sides of the family. His paternal grandfather, Jesse Dunning Presley, was not happy that his two sons, Elvis' father Vernon and his brother Vester, married two sisters, Gladys and Clettes who were known to have Cherokee blood in their family tree. J.D. Presley was quite the racist a-hole, often drunk and a philandering husband to Minnie Mae (they were actually separated long before they finally divorced in 1954) who was always competing with his sons Vester and Vernon and who was known to abuse his kids when drunk. J.D. was was publicly against race mixing and was in denial about the Cherokee blood in his own family tree. It was more publicly known that the Smith family had Native blood in their family tree, so when both his sons fell for 2 Smith sisters and Vernon, on top of that, was still a minor at 17 when he eloped with Gladys who was 4 years older than him, Jesse was totally pissed off.
    As a child, Elvis already had many friends in the black community at the time his family was one of 4 "white" families that lived in the predominantly black neighborhood The Hill, just across from Shake Rag. His childhood friend Sam Bell said that some of the (black) kids in that neighborhood had lighter skin than Elvis (ruclips.net/video/LrFCyNMvZWk/видео.html). One of Elvis' bodyguards once said that he thought it was a miracle Elvis got into Humes High School in Memphis, because it was "lily white". Elvis wanted to be more open about his Native ancestry, but his manager "colonel" Tom Parker (real name Andreas van Kuijk) was against it because he was afraid it might cost Elvis fans (and himself money). They did have Elvis play characters in his movies though where he had Native American blood (Flaming Star, G.I. Blues, Stay Away Joe). Once Elvis had his own (apprentice) job learning to be an electrician, he saved up his money and bought his clothes in the same style that many of his friends of color wore. He was called a (forgive me, just stating facts here) "n-lover" and got beaten up several times too. Later, when he was an established star, he would not perform at places where the members of color of his back-up band/orchestra weren't allowed.

    When Elvis was reading that piece of paper it was a song request. At Elvis shows people would write the request and all request would go into a fish bowl before the show began. On stage Elvis would randomly pick one and do that song.

      ​@@kayleighmoran - here you go. Go to the 3:03 mark. He bends down and kisses a girl and she hands him the paper and he puts it in the exact spot where he pulls it out during polk salad annie. If you watch the next 6 songs in order the paper is sticking out of his belt. Also this was 1970 Elvis. He had just started performing live again and was not heavy into drugs until 1973-74. You can show your smug a$$ the door

    Love your reaction. I can tell you were surprised to see Elvis in motion. During the Los Vegas years he was in his prime. He incorporated karate moves and he was so spontaneous that his musicians and back up singers watched him closely and just followed his lead. You have a long list already. I suggest you start at the beginning with his first TV appearances. From his movie career check out love me tender Los Vegas 1971 version, Crawfish the beginning clip from his fourth movie King Creole, Jailhouse Rock and can’t help falling in love with you. Elvis had a Country music album with some very good songs, my favorite Just Pretend..
